NOTE: if the factory Uconnect® system is not going
to be used you can unplug the 24 pin connector
shown in step 2. This should only occur for people
who do not want to use this feature. If Uconnect®
module is not disconnected the Uconnect® system
will stay paired with previously paired phones.
The user’s phone may connect to both Bluetooth
devices simultaneously resulting in unpredictable
and potentially distracting behavior.
Connecting A SiriusXM Module (Sold Separately)
There is no way to integrate the factory SiriusXM
tuner. Once the radio is removed, the factory
SiriusXM is removed. As the title states, SiriusXM
requires a tuner sold separately. This diagram
shows how to integrate the antenna connection.
For vehicles with factory SiriusXM connect
the adapter to the factory SiriusXM antenna in
the radio cavity. The factory SiriusXM antenna
is located on the passenger side B-pillar.
For vehicles without factory SiriusXM use
the antenna that is included with the SXV300
SiriusXM Tuner.

Mounting Brackets
DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BEFORE CONTINUING. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL DISABLE MANY
FEATURES.
IMPORTANT: During the research and development of this product it was discovered that mounting
tolerance may vary from the vehicle’s trim level to year built. We have added a 1mm tolerance to the
mounting brackets to compensate for such variance in mounting tolerance. Use the guides below as
reference if there are any required adjustments.
Adjust the rear bracket as needed when the top or bottom is protruding or not flushed.
Adjust the side brackets as needed when either side is protruding or not flushed.
